auth-with-jwt-tailwind-and-recoil is a Tailwind+React based boilerplate that utilizes localStorage and RecoilJS for authentication. Currently, it's just a frontend. The backend is based on another Nightkit boilerplate backend-with-crud-and-auth which is pretty easy to setup.
You can use it for:
- Quickly prototyping stuff in Hackathons.
- Avoiding messy setups and only writing what's important.
Read backend-with-crud-and-auth documentation available at - backend-with-crud-and-auth to setup your backend.
After your backend is setup, you may want to setup an environment variable REACT_APP_SERVER_URL with the value set to your backend URL in this format - https://example.com/api without a trailing slash (/). If you're working locally, then just navigate to the src/authentication/server-config.js file and change the serverURL variable's value to your local URL in the same format.
If you changed your register/login routes or added more routes that are required in the frontend. Then you are supposed to add them for usage accordingly in the src/authentication/server-config.js file, followed by a trailing slash (/) like /play.
Since I'm using RecoilJS for state-management. It's important you read their documentation available at https://recoiljs.org/. All the state keys are stored in src/authentication/state.js.
To add links in the Navbar, go to src/components/Nav.js and add your links in the links object with the same format as other links there. You can add a protected: true key to make the route exclusive for logged in users.
There's a tailwind.js file in the root directory. You can use it to customize the theme accordingly.
Though this is unopinionated and you can use anything for hosting, I personally prefer Netlify for hosting my projects. For the same reason, if you decide to use Netlify, I've added a netlify.toml file in the root directory.
Other nice alternatives are Vercel, AWS Lambda, Heroku.
Thanks to RecoilJS - Facebook, TailwindCSS, and all other open-source libraries that I may have used while building this.
